HOSPITAL POEM

All night my sorrow
grows like a dead girl’s fingernails
In my dream I swim inside a cloud
sewn from my doctor’s fine white hair
My doctor’s clean white hands
holding me still
grows like a dead girl’s fingernails
In my dream I swim inside a cloud
sewn from my doctor’s fine white hair
My doctor’s clean white hands
holding me still
